Oh the fun I had…
Since I don’t know how to make a sash in CLO 3D and since I wanted to give Victoria some dignity, I decided to make her a kaftan. I gave up trying to pose her in CLO 3D and instead created the poses I wanted in DAZ 3D and then imported them. It’s not elegant, but it works. Mostly. Anyway, I Googled for a pattern (‘kaftan pattern free pdf’ – noticing a pattern (sic) yet?) and found this page that had a few:
https://hellosewing.com/free-caftan-sewing-patterns/
I chose the simplest, and that lead me here:
https://gina-michele.com/2018/05/28/how-to-sew-an-easy-caftan-dress-no-pattern-needed/
It took a bit of mental gymnastics to translate the instructions into CLO 3D, but I managed it:
(now having access to a T pose really helps)
See how easy it is to drape a kaftan when your arms aren’t sloping?
Next, I dropped her arms so she looked less like a clothes hangar:
It was at this point that I realised that now feeling very pleased with myself, that I had forgotten to put shoes on Victoria … and bare feet isn’t a good look for a fashion model.
That, sadly, wasn’t an easy issue to fix. I could pose Victoria in any pose imported from DAZ 3D, but when I tried the final standing pose, it all went horribly wrong. I’m not sure if this is a recommended fix or not, but I ended up re-importing Victoria with all her clothing welded to her. (She’s not ever going to be taking them off in any case)
This, with a pattern added, is the end result:
